It is the mission of the Volunteer Network (VN) to provide a variety of volunteer opportunities to St. Olaf College students. We strive to serve the campus community by empowering students to understand the impact they can have in the lives of others and promote self-fulfillment through lifelong service. VN will accomplish its goals by establishing cooperative relationships with the local communities, providing a supportive network for volunteers, and advocating for those seeking service.
